A source layout for an external-time workflow
Attendify produces a CSV with externalCode, userIdNav, startDate, startTime, endDate, endTime, timeType and quantityInHours. It uses the worker’s payroll ID for the user reference and combines that ID with the check-in instant to form the exported external code.
The layout is intended as input to an integration mapping. It is not a claim that these fields can be posted unchanged to every SuccessFactors tenant, API version or configured time-management scenario.
Check identity and time semantics
Confirm that the payroll ID identifies the intended employee in your target. Inspect whether your receiving interface expects a navigation property, an identifier field or a transformed object. Verify the configured time type and whether your scenario expects elapsed timestamps, evaluated quantities or both.
An exported record can carry original endpoints alongside a quantity reduced by configured breaks. The receiver must interpret that combination deliberately. Do not let an import silently calculate a different quantity and assume the totals still reconcile.
Plan for corrections and repeated files
The generated external code contains the check-in instant. If a correction changes that instant, the identifier can change too. The integration must define whether to replace, cancel or create records; the file alone does not guarantee an idempotent update in the receiving system.
Include a corrected start time and an overnight shift in the acceptance test. Named-format records without payroll IDs are excluded and reported as exceptions. Review both the successful rows and the excluded population.
Keep payroll responsibilities visible
SAP’s documented time-to-payroll process includes configured evaluation, replication and monitoring. See SAP’s Time Management and Payroll lesson for context.
Attendify’s output does not certify your receiving configuration or complete payroll authorization. Ask the integration owner to confirm the supported interface, required transformation and acceptance evidence before production use.
